Adapters and Cards

Network Adapters and Cards:

Since most Internet connections are well under 10Mbps, a Fast Ethernet Card is really all you need for Internet, shared printers and normal file sharing duties

Are you connecting to Application, Database, File or Media Servers then Gigabit Ethernet will give you a super fast connection with very low latency and fantastic data throughput. If you have a home network where you do a lot of file sharing or media serving then a Gigabit 1000Mbps card is also a great choice.

Fiber Optic Network Cards Fiber optic networking is the fastest, most secure and least length constrained version of a "wired" Network connection. example
